This month we hosted two Cyber Security Seminars in Seoul and Tokyo with our partners from NextIT and INSEC Security, released a free tool for scanning your endpoint for threats, certified 17 new security products, and much much more.

2015 was filled with 365 days of headlines covering everything from the OPM breach, to Anonymous' latest shenanigans, to mobile vulnerabilities. The breadth and depth of these breaches were both alarming and eye-opening. How can companies make sure they are adequately prepared for new threats in 2016?

In the first 3 months of 2016, ransomware attacks have increased tenfold compared to the total attacks in 2015, costing victims more than $200 million. Disturbingly, authorities state that this number only represents the number of known attacks. Our CEO, Benny Czarny, discusses how to prevent both known and unknown threats.

Our latest Metadefender Endpoint Management release makes it easier for admins to detect new devices entering their network, and provides a way to stay on top of the new updates needed for the devices already in their network.

Document-based malware exploits are an incredibly common method for attack. Data sanitization is designed to remove embedded objects, exploits and zero-day attacks while preserving the usability of a file.

CEO fraud is becoming increasingly popular. OPSWAT was targeted in a similar attack last year where the cyber criminal posed as a company executive via email and asked for a large wire transfer. Read about it here: http://bit.ly/1r0jypS
